Everything Ukrainian passport holders need to know about getting a Vietnam visa in 2026, including the online eVisa process, transit flight routes, and requirements.
Do Ukrainian Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam in 2026?
Yes, Ukrainian passport holders are required to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. Fortunately, the electronic visa (eVisa) system is now open to all nationalities. This allows Ukrainian citizens to easily apply online for a visa that supports both single and multiple entries, valid for up to 90 days.
Vietnam eVisa Cost & Processing Time
The fees for a Vietnam eVisa are straightforward and paid online during the application:
- **Single-entry (up to 90 days):** $25 USD (approximately 1,110 UAH) - **Multiple-entry (up to 90 days):** $50 USD (approximately 2,219 UAH)
Standard processing time is 3-5 working days. However, during busy seasons or Vietnamese public holidays, it may take longer. We strongly advise applying at least 1-2 weeks prior to your intended travel date.
Document Requirements
To successfully apply for a Vietnam eVisa, ensure you have the following ready:
- A valid **Ukrainian passport** with at least 6 months of validity remaining from your planned entry date and a minimum of 2 blank pages. - A clear digital scan or photo of your passport's biographical data page. - A recent passport-sized portrait photo, looking straight ahead without glasses. - A valid credit or debit card to pay the processing fee. - An active email address to receive your approved eVisa.
Flight Routes & Travel Tips from Ukraine to Vietnam
Due to the ongoing closure of Ukrainian airspace to civilian air traffic, there are no direct or connecting flights departing directly from Ukraine to Vietnam.
To travel, Ukrainian citizens must first transit via land (bus or train) to a neighboring country. Common exit routes include crossing into **Poland (Warsaw, Krakow)**, **Romania (Bucharest)**, or **Moldova (Chisinau)**.
Once at a major European international airport, you can catch flights to Vietnam's main airports—Noi Bai (Hanoi) or Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City)—using airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, or Turkish Airlines. Always check current martial law regulations regarding border crossings before planning your departure.
